Trigger vs Asana in more detail

1. Built-in time tracking

For a business owner or project manager, time tracking can mean the difference between losing money, breaking even or making a profit. If you run a creative agency or consultancy and you want to accurately track how long it takes to complete tasks, Trigger’s built-in time tracking is exactly what you need.

2. Built-in invoicing

Trigger has built-in invoicing functionality. Asana does not. To counter this, you’ll likely need to pay for an add-on service to Asana (that either integrates with Asana or connects via Zapier).

3. Ability to easily switch between Kanban and Task List views

In Trigger, you can easily switch between Kanban and Task List views for a project at any time. Whereas with Asana, you must choose one view only and you must choose at the time you create the project.

4. Better ability to manage your email notifications

In Asana, you can set your email notifications to:

Task reminders

All activity

Weekly dashboard

Snooze for 1 hour at a time

In Trigger, you can set your email notifications to:

Real time updates

Group updates every five minutes

Daily updates

No updates (unless you are @mentioned, so you don’t miss something important)

5. Ability to specify user roles per task

Unlike Asana, Trigger gives you the ability to specify user roles (assignee, watcher or neither) per task, which also gives you greater control over who receives email notifications and updates to tasks.

Trigger is a small team dedicated to your success. We’re super-responsive and we add customer-requested features and improvements all the time. So if you have a great idea about how we can be even better than Asana and the big guys, we’d love to hear from you
